Cup sizes are not an exact science and there are no industry standards

Should I go bigger than C cup for breast augmentation?

I am 5'2, 110lbs, and a size 32A. How big should I go for breast implants? My husband wants me to go no bigger then a full C cup. I don't know if I should go for a C or bigger. I want it to fit just right with my body, but I also want to go a little bigger then a C cup. What would you advise?

Forget about the cup size and go for the "look" you want. Make this very clear to your doctor. Cup sizes are not an exact science and there are no industry standards at all. For example, I had a patient back yesterday, 2 months post op with 375 moderate profile gel implants. These fit her frame dimensionally very well, not excessively full at the top. I asked her what cup sizes fit her now and she said,"It depends on the brand and whether I go with a 32 or a 34. In a 32, I am a DD and in a 34 I am a C or a D." So you can see that happiness comes from getting the "look" you want and not worrying about the cup size.
